Detailed Description

Cardone 85-3025 is designed as a replacement windshield wiper motor for Dodge Ram trucks that need a front-mounted motor without an integrated washer pump. The motor uses a stronger gear material than the original design to improve durability, while the controlled lubricant fill supports smooth, quiet movement. Load testing and torque-focused magnet design help the motor maintain performance under harsh weather and added linkage resistance. If you are replacing a worn Dodge Ram wiper motor, this unit addresses common failure points tied to gear wear and inconsistent sweep.
